Ballot Questions for 2026

This November, Massachusetts voters will face nine statewide ballot questions that will shape how we elect our leaders, how government spends our money, and whether we protect fundamental rights. Letters to the editor remain one of the most effective ways ordinary citizens can reach their neighbors, inform undecided voters, and show that real people care about these issues.

Please review the below one-sheet summarizing the Massachusetts Republican Party’s positions on each question, then write in your own voice sharing a personal example, keep it concise, factual, and respectful, and submit it to your local newspaper.

Quick tips:

• Always include your full name, town, and phone number (many papers require this for verification and won’t publish without it).

• Letters are usually short (under 200–300 words); op-eds are longer (600–800 words).

• Check each page for current guidelines, as some papers prefer online forms over email and many require exclusivity.
